I like the Blackhawks better for their design, however, I must admit that in terms of quality I'd go 5.11. A few weeks ago, while airsofting, and I went low on a door, kneeling down and poking around a corner.... My Blackhawk pants ripped open from the crotch to my right knee. I duct taped them up, and played the rest of the night, and felt lucky that I hadnt gone commando that day. My 5.11s have never failed me. I just like that the Blackhawks have pistol mag/flashlight pouches inside the lower pockets.
